Recreating Pink Floyd's 'On the Run' with Synthi AKS | Tribute

video upload by Andy Whitmore

"Welcome to an in-depth musical journey where we recreate the iconic sounds of Pink Floyd's 'On the Run' from their best-selling album, 'Dark Side of the Moon.' Using the legendary EMS Synthi AKS, we bring to life every synth part that made this track a groundbreaking piece of music history.
🎹 Recreated Parts:

0:00 - Sample of video
0:25 - Intro
0:42 - The main VCS3 synth sequence
1:07 - Introduce Resonance Melody
2:04 - Different waveforms
2:28 - Dramatic gated white noise sounds
3:01 - Gated Noise plus Resonance
3:18 - Noise plus Main sequence line
4:05 - Spring Reverb
5:35 - Summary
5:49 - Bass drone at the song beginning
6:05 - Noise FX
6:28 - Bass Attack
7:18 - Full 'On the Run' sequence

On the album cover, the Synthi AKS is wrongly credited as the VCS3, which is essentially the same synth—the difference lies in the box and the name.

📖 History of 'On the Run': 'On the Run' is a progressive instrumental track created by Roger Waters and David Gilmour. Known for its pioneering use of synthesizers, it's a testament to the innovative spirit of Pink Floyd. The track plays a crucial role in the album’s concept, evoking themes of travel and existential anxiety.

🔦 History of the Synthi AKS: The EMS Synthi AKS is a compact, portable synthesizer, first released in 1972. Famous for its distinctive sounds, it was used extensively throughout the 1970s by various artists. It’s known for its patch pin matrix and portability, making it a favorite for musicians looking for both creativity and convenience in their synthesizers."

Oberheim TEO-5 Synthesizer SonicLAB Review

video upload by sonicstate

"Ad Free, Exclusive Samples and extra demo on http://patreon.com/sonicstate

SonicLab reviews the Sequential TEO-5 synthesizer. With a street price of around £1,450/$1,500, the *Oberheim TEO-5 * offers an attractive balance of price and performance. Although it has limited polyphony compared to other offerings, such as the Behringer UB-XA, it retains the authentic Oberheim essence in a conveniently smaller package."

MPC tutorial - create a full drum kit from scratch

video upload by Audiorial

"Hello
Today we'll create a drum kit from scratch for our Akai MPCs, from synths, and more specifically modular synths, but it works with any source. So we're going to use the sampling technique. We're also going to look at other sound design techniques and after the video, you can create your own kits so that you don't sound like anyone else and gain in sound identity, a point in my humble opinion CRUCIAL when you're an artist. Happy watching!"

Bad Gear - Most Expensive Home Keyboard

This arguably most expensive home keyboard of all time and proprietary plugin host is the living proof that this day will most likely never come: a name suspiciously similar to your favorite personal lubricant, the UI of a smart home thermostat and the most obnoxious paywall of all time - merci beaucoup!!!

NOUTER / JAM / variwave output from a Joranalogue Prototype C5

video upload by BRiES

"I used a lot of modules in this jam, from both NIBBLERS for sequencing to the DELTA-Vs for the hats and percussion. I started the patch of with a really simple premise though: using the variwave output of a CYCLE 5 preproduction unit, modulated by ORBIT 3, through a dual LPG triggered by short pulses. Apart from that there's no soundshaping to the synths (no filters). Ample amounts of delay and reverb were used."

Live jam with the Polyend Tracker Mini

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I'm going to just say it: the Polyend Tracker Mini (or maybe Tracker+) is currently the best all-in-one groovebox going. Eight stereo sample tracks, eight voices of internal synths across three timbres, up to eight MIDI tracks, great onboard effects, battery powered, very portable, USB multitrack audio recording, and fantastic performance effects. This thing rules.

To celebrate the 2.0 software release, which brings the Mini and + to parity, minus the differences in hardware, I put together this piece. I'm very, very happy with the results. The Tracker is an extremely inspiring platform for me.

There are shortcomings to the Tracker platform, namely bugs and promised features that haven't been implemented yet; seriously, Polyend, you gotta get those performance effects for the Play+ synths if you're going to promise them to users, let alone the Tracker+ and Tracker Mini! But the bugs, while annoying if you don't know about them, are manageable once you do know about them, and I tend not to buy devices like the Mini for its potential firmware updates. When I bought the Mini, it was a stereo sampler, and now it's a stereo sampler with eight voices of internal synth polyphony, so Polyend is offering amazing updates. I just try not to think of what a thing is missing.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

Recorded to multitrack audio via USB (what a feature!), with a little treatment to the synths (as noted in the video), and with EQ/compression/limiting on the master.

Loopstyler, reverb and flanger with drones and drums

video upload by Gechologic

"This demo shows the new reverb and flanger effects applied to three of the factory patches: 1 (guitar samples), 5 (supersaw+FM) and 9 (drum samples) driven by the Euclidean Rhythms generator.

If you are curious, the complete list of patches is here: https://phonicbloom.com/loopstyler/ma...
And the detailed manual is here: https://phonicbloom.com/loopstyler/ma...

All sounds are coming from the device, as recorded on the SD card, with no additional processing, except for the peak volume normalized to -6dB, and fading in and out when editing the video.

Ohmicide | by Ohm Force | Overview Videos

video uploads by Cinematic Laboratory

Part 1

"It's the first time I had to cut a module video in two. This part is the overview and introduction, the second part is a dry algorithm reference. So part 2 can be a bit long and boring."

Part 2

"In this video I'll go through the 37 distortion algorithms one by one, so it's intended as a reference for potential, current and near future ohmers. Hopefully this video can help you find the one you've always been looking for.
I had to cut corners a little, so I made a reference patch so all algorithms would have the same source limitations. In real life, results will depend on your sources and settings. I also kept everything dry so you can hear all the little crisps and artefacts. Inevitably, it's a long and dirty video so check out Part 01 for an overview/impression."
